This seems to be run by TRADOC, the US Army's TRaining And DOCterine Command.
I assume that it is intended to facilitate the Army's Land Navigation (LANDNAV) training for Soldiers. MGRS is the standard format for all US Army maps.
I *can not* count the number of times I've been reading something I want to be reading in a perfect environment, only to have to re-read pages because while I was mechanically reading, my brain was somewhere else entirely. It's usually when I go to turn/click to the next page that I realize I have no idea what I just read.
I think the benefit of the ICMP testing is to develop a baseline of the network performance characteristics, making it easier to determine what impact various TCP features are having in higher level application/protocol tests.
Theoretically it is possible to do route between arbitrary endpoints, and I think I read a while ago that there was work on this. How well this works for any two terminals that are not on the same satellite depends on the efficiency of routing packets between satellites. I would assume that creating efficient routing paths between dynamic customer terminals and fixed aggregation points makes it easier to provide fairly consistent network performance than building dynamic, rapidly changing paths between arbitrary end points.
I think this has more to do with workers who are only interested in doing the least amount of work they can get away with.
Even highly motivated workers are going to have off days that are less productive, but the average level of output will be higher.
Low performing / marginal workers, in my experience, tend to do their best work when they feel like they are being observed. Providing that sort of motivation is more difficult when they are remote.
